Highlight • Other
✨ Brief description:
Installation & design: The vaulted spring lies directly beneath the cliff face, with a small brick barrel vault, an elegant arched opening, and a rectangular basin that served as a drinking and washing fountain.
Historical context: Located at the terminus of the old paved road ("Via") to the village – formerly a central meeting place. The elevated access and vaulted structure demonstrate clever use of water in the mountainous terrain.
Atmosphere: Surrounded by rustic lushness – old rock, overgrown spiny or medicinal plants, moss – creates a tranquil, almost meditative ambiance.
Accessibility: Easily accessible via a short route from Port de Centuri or the small camping or parking area near Cannelle. Ideal as a stopover on hikes along the coast or during a village walk.
🧭 Ideal for:
Photo enthusiasts: Stylish rock and water scenery with plenty of flair.
Beginner hikers: A small addition to walks around Centuri-Port or the Sentier des Douaniers.
Cultural explorers: A witness to traditional village infrastructure, now lovingly restored.
In a nutshell: The Fontaine de Cannelle is a natural spring nestled beneath rocks, with charming architecture, surrounded by wild greenery – a quiet, culturally rich gem in Cap Corse that exudes authenticity and tranquility.
